Up in the Air

Artist Kaspar Müller, in collaboration with Baloonsalon Peng, invites children to experiment with shape and color through creating their own floating balloons. Using foil, stickers, glitter, vinyl, and all sorts of colorful, sparkly materials, participants develop their own objects. The workshop, located on the mezzanine floor of the fair, provides an open studio setting where balloons gradually accumulate, turning the space into an evolving installation.

Meeting point: VIP Desk, in the Foyer (Level 0).

The Children’s Workshop is kindly supported by Linde.
